Psychoanalysis has become in the West the dominant paradigm for understanding our emotional lives. But do we know what it's all about? Using examples from popular culture and everyday experience, each book in the series explains a psychoanalytical concept and its ability to illuminate the nature of human society and culture.

Description

Details

Ideas in Psychoanalysis is a series of essays which explain psychoanalytical concepts, their relevance to everyday life and their ability to illuminate the nature of human society and culture. Unlike other beasts of the garden, human beings learn to control their sexual and aggressive motions; to distinguish between parents, sexual partners and friends; to acquire a sense of the beautiful, and we call this 'civilisation'. Singh explains how we have developed these capacities - and argues for a sense of the moral sublime as the zenith of human development.
